Good day, everyone! Originally, this episode of Full Metal Hipster was going to feature an interview with Shawn Pelata who's the vocalist for Final Sign (Facebook) - a traditional/power metal band from North Carolina. I also had a giveaway planned for two copies of the cassette version of Final Sign's album Hold High the Flame. Unfortunately, a large portion of the interview's audio file was messed up to the point of being unlistenable. I'm doing a second interview with Shawn which will be up next week, so, in the mean time, here's what would have been next week's episode! You're going to hear my interview with Andy and Alex of Arizona's Take Over and Destroy (Facebook) who just released their third full-length called Take Over and Destroy. The band is influenced by old horror movies and you can hear that all over the new album from Andy's death rock vocals to the creepy keyboard passages. This is an appropriate album for the Halloween season and I hope you enjoy the interview!

Another week, another new installment of Full Metal Hipster! On this episode I spoke to Arthur Rizk of Sumerlands (Facebook) as well as about a billion other bands. We talked about the new album, playing live and nerdy power metal bands. It was a lot of fun and I think you're really going to enjoy this episode. I mean, you should enjoy every episode, but whatever. Enjoy! If you’re an iTunes user, don’t forget to subscribe to Full Metal Hipster, and leave me some good reviews/5 star ratings for God’s sake!

This is kind of a surprise episode. I got an interview with Mers Sumida and Mike Kadnar from New York's Black Table (Facebook) set up at the last minute, so I'm getting it out now instead of waiting a week. If you aren't familiar with the band, they play progressive black metal with some post-rock influence and their debut album Obelisk is being released next Friday the 14th. Give our conversation a listen and dig a couple tunes from the album before it's released!
